Inside the Walls

We've been busy making sure everything that needs to go inside the walls is in place before insulation: HVAC (heating, ventilation & air conditioning) equipment, electrical wiring (phone, cable, internet), plumbing, and more. Once the insulation is in, the drywaller will start and all those cables, hoses and pipes will be hidden away. Let's just say that changing the locations and making adjustments is easier now.

After pouring 1.5" of concrete on the main and upper floors, we didn't have a sill anymore, leaving nothing for the vapor barrier to be stapled to. We had to reinstall pieces of 2" x 4" in all the exterior wall cavities.

I am the unexpected farm dweller.
When I first visited this farm, I thought my husband was joking. A month later we moved into the dilapidated original farm house. And since that day eight years ago, we've been planning and now building this new home.
Building Walnut Farm is the record of this process: making this farm in Port Perry, Ontario our home.
